A Chevrolet 1936 in Transport Museum, Malang

A nice Chevrolet 1936 at TransportMuseum (Musium Angkut) in Kota Batu, Malang (East Java). General Motors (GM) has been in operation before the Indonesian state is formed. Precisely when Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial grip. In 1927, the forerunner to the GM, who was named NV General Motors Java Handel Maatschappij (NVGMJHM), established in Indonesia. Two years later, General Motors for the first time introduced their six-cylinder-engine-car. Because of the high demand, GM consequently decided to build a plant in Tanjung Priok in 1938. The Chevrolet factory later became the first car manufacturer in Indonesia. But General Motors was forced to stop producing after Japan's entry into Indonesia in 1942.

Dutch Troops with British Bren Carrier

The tracked vehicle is a British Universal (Bren Gun) Carrier. The original role envisaged for the Universal Carrier was for a fast, lightly armed vehicle to carry infantry across ground denied by small-arms fire and specifically, the Bren light machine gun and its team, hence the name Bren Gun Carrier. (NB: A broad parallel can be drawn between that concept and the tactics of the APC (M1 L3A1) Troop which carried an Infantry Company. Each infantry section, comprising ten men [one section to a vehicle] possessed a light machine gun crew of three men and a BREN GUN.

Ford Truck Passing in Front of St. Aloysius Broederschool

Two women sit while selling goods on the Koningsplein (King's Square) in old Batavia (now Jakarta). The civilian style truck passing in the background is a 1946-1948 Ford (you can identify it by the distinctive louvers in the side of the motor hood). Behind you can also see the St. Aloysius Broederschool. The picture was taken by Cas Oorthuys between 1 January 1947 to 28 February 1947.

Austin Seven in Yogyakarta

The busy traffic scene on Jalan Malioboro (Yogyakarta) in front of the doorstop of Tugu train station, 19 February 1948. Regarding this photo, I am (Bill) not very knowledgeable on British cars, particularly the smaller "family car" type so I am not positive about this vehicle with camo paint. The closest I have come is possibly an Austin Seven from the late 1930s. Below is a photo of such a car from the rear so you can see the shape of the third side window which is slightly different from other British Sevens.  Let me know what you think!

Oranje Hotel in the 1930s

Oranje Hotel (now Hotel Majapahit) in Tunjungan Street, Surabaya. The only car I (Bill) can make a good guess at is the first one which looks to me like a 1934 Chevrolet Touring Car.

Assortment of Cars in front of Internatio Building

Internatio (Internationale Handels-en Credietvereniging Rotterdam) building in Surabaya in 1931 (the caption in the picture is wrong). The picture show Assortment of mostly sedans and, possibly a mix of Buick and Chrysler vehicles. Looks like a hire cars for tourists or businessmen visiting Indonesia / Netherlands East Indies in the early 1930s.  "High Class Taxis" you might call them!
